Where do you live? And we need a more close-up picture of leaves and stems.

Those 2 things will help ID the weed.

Chickweed, Stellaria media, a cool weather annual weed. Very easily pulled up but do it before it goes to seed!!

Also edible if you care to get rid of it that way :-)

I agree. Pull ASAP before it seeds around. It needs bare patches of soil so if you can improve your grass and keep it mowed the Chickweed will have less of a chance.
